There are moments when the world doesn’t need another leader in a tailored suit with bullet points and buzzwords.

It needs an elder.
A mirror.
A firestarter.

Today’s guest initiates warriors. He walks them to the edge of their identity, hands them the flint, and says: “Now light it up.”

For over two decades, Eric Kaufmann has been guiding CEOs, founders, and senior leaders through the crucible—helping them break down the illusions of self-importance, shed the skin of performative leadership, and step into something real… something forged in the fire of clarity, presence, and sacred responsibility.

He’s the author of Leadership Breakdown and The Four Virtues of a Leader—books that don’t just sit pretty on a bookshelf. They initiate.

Eric’s work is where Zen meets the boardroom, where ancient wisdom meets modern chaos, and where the rite of leadership is not handed to you—it’s earned through trials. Through courage, grit, faith, and focus.

This is not about optics. This is not about quarterly gains.
This is about inner revolution.
The kind that echoes outward and recalibrates the system itself.

So if you’re ready to trade comfort for consciousness…
If you’re ready to drop the mask and meet the mirror…
Then hold fast.
